Commercial Construction From Office to Retail to Mixed-Use
What Falls Under Commercial Construction
Van Winkle has served as a commercial general Contractor since 1931, delivering projects through a collaborative approach rather than a traditional lump sum bid process. That approach gives Owners of office, retail, and mixed use projects an honest number early and a partner accountable to it throughout.
As a commercial construction company, we've worked across office, retail, and mixed use product types for decades. We've also built long relationships with clients like Coca Cola, Lockheed Martin, and Georgia Power, delivering hundreds of projects over the years, primarily in manufacturing and industrial environments.
Those relationships didn't happen by accident. They're the result of showing up on time and on budget often enough that a client stops shopping for the next project and simply calls us instead.
Commercial Design Build Contractors From Concept Forward
For Owners who want a single point of accountability from concept through completion, we work as commercial design build Contractors, aligning design and construction from the earliest phase rather than handing off between separate parties.
That single-source approach reduces the friction that typically shows up at the design-to-construction transition, and it's part of why we function as commercial building construction companies go more like a long-term partner than a vendor selected on price alone.
Commercial Renovation Contractors for Occupied Buildings
Not every commercial project is a new build. As commercial renovation Contractors, we handle tenant improvements and full renovations of buildings that stay occupied throughout construction, phasing work so a business doesn't have to close its doors to get the space it needs.
That flexibility across new construction and renovation is what lets a single commercial client keep calling Van Winkle project after project, regardless of what the next building requires.
Relationships with clients like Coca-Cola and Lockheed Martin span decades and both new construction and renovation work, which is the kind of track record that only comes from getting both types of projects right, repeatedly.

Answers to Common Commercial Build Questions
What types of commercial construction projects do you handle?
We build office, retail, and mixed-use projects, along with tenant improvements and renovations, for commercial clients across Metro Atlanta and the broader Southeast.
What is the difference between commercial construction and industrial construction?
Commercial construction typically covers office, retail, and mixed-use buildings, while industrial construction addresses manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution facilities with different codes and infrastructure requirements.

Yes. As commercial design-build Contractors, we align design and construction from the earliest phase, giving Owners one accountable partner from concept through completion.
How long does a typical commercial construction project take to complete?
Timelines vary widely by project size and scope, but we build a realistic schedule during preconstruction and track it weekly to keep the project on the date we commit to.

We handle both. As commercial renovation Contractors, we regularly complete tenant improvements and full renovations of buildings that remain occupied during construction.
